TERRAFORMING TERRA
We discuss and comment on the role agriculture will play in the containment of the CO2 problem and address protocols for terraforming the planet Earth.
A model farm template is imagined as the central methodology. A broad range of timely science news and other topics of interest are commented on.

My own intuition regarding our climate future is that we are far more at risk for a sharp decline that any rise. After all the CO2 conjecture has been thoroughly refuted by the past twenty years of data collection. Or more simply, a conjecture based on a recent anomaly from twenty years ago and based on a century's accumulation of CO2 must then respond in the next twenty years or be simply absurd. It is absurd.

That put us back at accepting the sun as our primary climate driver. What an idea? The problem was understanding the Little Ice Age. this work is quietly putting that brick firmly in place and it turns out to be simple as possible.

We have two belts at work that swing slowly in and out of phase. Most of the time we do not notice at all. Yet along comes the big chill when the there is a huge significant pause that lasts years. The next one starts in fifteen years and should take a year or so to be fully felt.

.

This has nothing to do with human impact on climate change, but instead the activity of the sun and how solar cycles
impact our climate as well. It’s based on a mathematical model that
shows the sun might “quiet” down in the coming years thus impacting our
climate as well. This is not a climate change denial article, please read it before commenting.

A few months ago, NASA published a study showing that Antarctica is
actually gaining more ice than it is losing. They made the announcement
after using satellites to examine the heights of the region’s ice sheet.
The findings contradict the prevailing theory that Antarctica has
actually been shrinking, however. The paper is titled “Mass gains of the Antarctic ice sheet exceed losses” and was published in the Journal of Glaciology.

The authors of this study are from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight
Center, and the cause of this ice gain isn’t entirely known, but a
number of theories are mentioned in the paper. It is worth mentioning,
however that NASA was blasted by dozens of their own scientists
regarding their global warming stance, even though a number of the
world’s top scientists have questioned just how much an impact
greenhouse gases have on climate change. You can read more about that here. (source)

Perhaps there are other factors contributing to climate change?

Just a few years ago, Antarctic ice extent had reached an all-time high. (source)(source)

There are many theories as to why this is so, and one of them
includes the effects of supposed global warming, but not everyone
agrees. That’s a completely separate topic, however, and you can learn
more about it in the articles linked at the end of this article.

When it comes to climate change, a lot of
emphasis is put on human activity, and rightfully so, as our ways here
need to change. Perhaps in our fervour to discover our own culpability
in this shift, however, we missed a few things along the way? What about
the natural cycles of climate change Earth experiences, and has
experienced? It’s a scientific fact that fluctuations in the solar cycle
impact earth’s global temperature, as do other massive bodies flying in
and around our solar system.

The most recent research to examine this topic comes from the
National Astronomy Meeting in Wales, where Valentina Zharkova, a
mathematics professor from Northumbria University (UK), presented a
model that can predict what solar cycles will look like far more
accurately than was previously possible. She states that the model can
predict their influence with an accuracy of 97 percent, and says it is
showing that Earth is heading for a “mini ice age” in approximately
fifteen years.

According to the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS):

A new model of the Sun’s solar cycle is producing
unprecedentedly accurate predictions of irregularities within the Sun’s
11-year heartbeat. The model draws on dynamo effects in two layers of
the Sun, one close to the surface and one deep within its convection
zone. Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall
by 60 per cent during the 2030s to conditions last seen during the ‘mini
ice age’ that began in 1645. (source)

Zharkova and her team came up with the model using a method called
“principal component analysis” of the magnetic field observations, from
the Wilcox Solar Observatory in California. Looking forward to the next
few solar cycles, her model predicts that from 2030 to 2040 there will
be cause for a significant reduction in solar activity, which again,
will lead to a mini ice age. According to Zharkova:

In cycle 26, the two waves exactly mirror each other –
peaking at the same time but in opposite hemispheres of the Sun. Their
interaction will be disruptive, or they will nearly cancel each other.
We predict that this will lead to the properties of a “Maunder minimum.” Effectively,
when the waves are approximately in phase, they can show strong
interaction, or resonance, and we have strong solar activity. When they
are out of phase, we have solar minimums. When there is full phase
separation, we have the conditions last seen during the Maunder minimum,
370 years ago. (source)

Pretty interesting to think about it, isn’t it? With so much
attention being paid to the warming of our planet, it would be quite a
shocker to suddenly enter into an ice age.

Again, this has nothing to due with human impact on climate change,
more so the activity of the sun and how solar cycles impact our climate
as well. This is not a climate change denial article. It’s basically
bringing up the fact that there are more factors to consider that play a
role in climate change.What are your thoughts? Please feel free to

I think this is interesting that a friend, a geologist thinks that sea levels were slightly higher by as much a a couple of feet in the 1700s which might be in line with her analysis from the 1650 period's mini ice age. I guess that begs the question for us laymen, would a mini ice age cause sea levels to fall than rise as it warmed or vice versa?

That is counter intuitive except that we lack a proper explanation for little ice age. Maybe a huge ice dump took place in Antarctica or the southern hemisphere warmed up for fifty years. i still like neither.

My interest was Relativity and my last year there saw me complete a 900 level course under Hanno Rund on his work in relativity,as well as differential geometry(pure math) and of course analysis. I continued researching new ideas and knowledge since that time and I have prepared a book for publication titled Paradigms Shift&.
